This is the second-to-last issue of this title, sadly. :( Also sadly, I don't seem to have a lot to say about it this time.
First thing, Mitch is not a good guy. We already knew that he wasn't a particularly nice guy, but that's probably not that unusual in a SHIELD agent. One would think that SHIELD's intensive psychological testing would have caught on to the fact that he's a sociopath, but then SHIELD has had its own problems over the last few years, and the story is that Mitch is a very good sociopath.
So he has Eric now, hiding him away somewhere in the bowels of the SHIELD helicarrier. (Didn't Tony build a new carrier, though?--seems like the old secret places wouldn't necessarily be there anymore. Anyway...) He tortures him (only after telling his sordid life story) in horrible (and mostly off-panel) ways. He is finally ready to kill him when Iron Man comes to his rescue. Tony clearly isn't inclined to believe Eric's story (unsurprising since it's pretty much totally untrue) but apparently Mitch's was worse, or at least there was no evidence contradicting Eric's version. And apparently SHIELD has no access to "Derek"'s employment records, because at the end of the story Eric is back on duty with SHIELD.
You know, no. There's no way. Tony is up to something.
Oh, and I love the Black Fox. Total awesome.
So, a fair amount of action, not a whole lot of character development. I'd like to have seen what's going on with Abigail, since Eric has been missing for a month. And just how pregnant is Veronica by now?
